Gregory Rummelt

Greg Rummelt has been a student at The Potter’s House since kindergarten. It’s the only school he’s ever known. Greg’s mom Felicia Smith was not a Christian when she entered Greg at The Potter’s House. Felicia shared, “In those days, I was not walking with the Lord, but I knew that I wanted my son in a Christian school where they’d teach him about Jesus. I knew I didn’t have much to teach him on that topic – but I knew it was important.”

Starting middle school

Margo Lynde – going into Grade 6

Hi, I’m Margo Lynde. I am excited about going back to school because I just finished 5th grade and am eager to start middle school.

I’ve heard good things about the middle school teachers at the Potter’s House. When I go back to school, I will be happy to see some of my friends. What I like about the Potter’s House is that it is a Christ-centered school. The teachers are always leading children deeper into the Christian faith. I am glad to go to such a fine school and that I can have an excellent education. I am eagerly waiting to go to middle school at The Potter’s House so I can learn more.

Looking Forward

Rebekah Sisco, 3rd grader

I am looking forward to going back to school.

First, I’ll get to see all of my friends again. I’ve only hung out with a few at one birthday party this summer, and it will be good to see everyone again. Second, I am looking forward to my mom making “Sisco Bars” as a welcome back for my teachers. She always does that. Third, Miss DeBruin is one of my favorite teachers, and I’ll get to have her again this year.

Sometimes when I’ve been thinking about school this summer, I’ve been wondering what our new theme is going to be this year. I got to learn more about the Fruit of the Spirit on Sunday mornings and at our church’s worship arts camp the first week of August. That reminded me of school because the main drama was about a girl named Kelly going back to school. This put a little refreshment in my mind, thinking about The Potter’s House and getting excited for Family Worship, where we learn about a theme from the Bible together. I hope it’s going to be a great year!

Me and The Potter’s House

By 6th grade student, Bianca Rodriguez

Being at the Potter’s House has been a great experience for me. Every year that I spent at the Potter’s House was amazing.

Each year there was something new and I was so amazed and surprised at all the different things that the teachers had planned for us to do. Everything was so much fun, from all of the exciting trips to the simple classes that went on every day.

One grade that I really loved was fourth grade. It was kind of different but I liked it. One of the things that I loved about fourth grade was starting discipleship. In discipleship all of the students would split up into groups and we would do crafts together and talk about our relationship with God. Each group would also illustrate a bible verse. The bible verses would be put into our discipleship folders for an end of the month game called quiz bowl.

Another thing that I liked about fourth grade was the way they taught us about economics through the use of adventure bucks. It was just like a real bank! We had to learn how to use our money (adventure bucks) wisely. We could use the money to go on field trips and other school events.

Now that I’m moving into middle school, I feel anxious, nervous, and excited. Well, there’s a whole bunch of feelings mixed inside of me. But I’m very excited about getting to know new teachers and go to the awesome trips that I’ve heard about.

This was my story about me and The Potter’s House. Thanks for reading!
